BURNER-SUPPORTING BRACKET FOR/OIL STOVES.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed April 19, 1921. Serial No. 462,564.

T 0 NZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, IVILLIAM IV. Hon LOWAY and HENRY KIrLnnns, citizensof the United States of America, and residents, respectively, ofWheeling, county of Ohio, and State of Vest Virginia, and Martins Ferry,county of Belmont, and State of ()hio, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Burner-Supporting Brackets for,

Oil Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates broadly to burners for oil stoves, and morespecifically to a supporting bracket for the actuating lever whereby'thelevel of the burner is adjusted.

The primary object is to provide a simple and inexpensive form ofbracket for supporting the burner raising and lowering mechanism shownin the application of Harvey B. Reppetto, filed April 19, 1921, SerialNo. 462,527.

A further object is to provide a bracket of simple and economicalconstruction designed not only as a support for the operating mechanismmentioned, but also as a brace for the burner supporting pipe.

In describing the invention in detail, reference is herein had to theaccompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of theinvention, applied;

Figure 2 is an end elevation of the invention with the operating levermounted thereon, said lever being shown in section;

Figure 3 is plan view of the sheet metal blank from which the bracket isformed; and- Figure 4 is a similar view, showing a modified form ofblank.

Referring to said drawings, 1 indicates the fuel supply pipe of an oilstove, 2 a standpipe rising from said supply pipe, 3 a feed tubetelescopically disposed with respect to said stand-pipe, and 4 a burnerhead or trough which surmounts said feed tube. Fixed to and dependingfrom said burner head 4 at opposite sides of said feed tube are frictionplates 5 with which cooperate spring fingers 6 formed on the ends of anoperating lever 7 whereby said burner head is raised and lowered to varythe level of the oil in the latter; all as disclosed in the aplicationof Harvey B. Reppetto, hereinbeore referred to.

As hereinbefore indicated, the present in ventlonis directed to theprovision of a combined support for the lever 7 and brace for thestand-pipe 2. The device is made of a single sheet-metal blank, thepreferred form of Which is shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings. In itsfabricated form, said device comprises a centrally disposed horizontalpanel 8 surmounting two oppositely disposed inclined legs 9 ofpanel-like form having fiat feet 10 adapted for resting upon the stovebottom 11 by which the supply pipe 1 is supported, said feet beingprovided with holes 12 for the reception of bolts 13 by which they arerigidly attached,

to said stove bottom. Formed on the outer edge of each leg 9 is a lug orear 14 having a bolt-hole 15 therein, said ears being turned upward atright angles to the planes of said legs and being designed to be boltedagainst the front wall 16 of the stove. In cutting out the blank, theformation of the ears 14 produces correspondingly shaped recesses 17 inthe inner edge of the next adjacent blank, said recesses beingcontiguous to and defining portions of the opposite lateral edges of aninwardl extending tongue-like prolongation or projecting end 8 of thepanel 8; and in producing said projecting end or tongue 8 acorrespondingly shaped recess 18 is formed in the outer edge of the nextadjacent blank, said recess being located between the ears 14 of suchadjacent blank and extending inward into said blank a considerabledistance, as shown in Fig. 3. Said tongue serves as a support or bracewhereby the stand-pipe 2 is firmly held in upright position, an aperture19 provided in the tongue having said stand-pipe extending upwardtherethrough.

Struck up from the panel-like legs 9 are tongues 20 which are bentupward into overhanging relation to the panel 8 and have uprightterminals between which is fitted the Patented Jan. 17, 1922."

operating lever 7, the latter being mounted upon a pivot-pin or bolt 21which is disposed in holes 22 rovided in said terminals.

A slight y modified form of bracket is produced from the form of blankshown in Fig. 4, which has its width increased to the extent that, whenshaped into bracket form, it overlies the supply pipe 1, oppositerecesses 23 being provided in the feet 10 and legs 9 for the snugreception of said pipe.

constructed of a single sheet-metal blank having a form which providesfor a plurality thereof being cut or stamped from a sheet with little orno waste of material.

What is claimed is- 1. A device of the character described comprising aone-piece sheet-metal supporting bracket consisting of two oppositerelatively inclined panel-like supporting legs, a horizontal panelsurmounting said legs, and tongues struck up from said legs and bentupward into approximate meeting relation over said panel, and a leverpivotally mounts ed upon said tongues.

2. A device of the character described com )rising a one-piecesheet-metal supporting racket consisting of two opposite relativelyinclined panel-like supporting legs, a

horizontal panel surmountin said legs, and tongues struck up from sailegs and bent upward into overhanging relatlon to said panel, saidtongues having parallel upright terminals disposed adjacent to eachother,

and a lever pivotally mounted upon said tongues. v

j 3. A one-piece sheet-metal supporting bracket for the purposespecified, comprising two opposite relatively inclined panellikesupporting legs, a horizontal panel surmounting said legs, and tonguesstruck up from said legs and bent upward into overhanging relation tosaid panel, said tongues having parallel upright terminals disposedadjacent to each other, said panel being prolonged in tongue-like format its inner end and having an aperturev therein.

4. A onepiece sheet-metal supporting bracket for the purpose specified,comprising two opposite relatively inclined panellike supporting legs, ahorizontal panel surmounting said legs, and tongues struck from saidlegsand bent upward into overhanging relation to said panel, saidtongues having parallel upright terminals disposed adjacent to eachother, said panel being prolonged at its inner end to form a projectingtongue, said tongue being apertured, and attaching ears formed on theouter edges of said legs.

In testimony whereof we aflix our signae tures in presence of twowitnesses.
